Match Report
Union Berlin snatched a 3-1 win at Mainz on matchday 33, turning a tight game into a rout in the final minutes. The result was historic: coach Marie-Louise Eta became the first female manager to win a Bundesliga match, securing her maiden top-flight victory in her fourth attempt in charge.
Andrej Ilic opened the scoring on 38 minutes, before Sheraldo Becker levelled for the hosts just after the break. Mainz thought they had the lead when Tietz netted on 57 minutes, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. Union then struck late: Oliver Burke made it 2-1 on 88 minutes and Josip Juranovic sealed the win in stoppage time.
The defeat leaves Mainz — and returning coach Urs Fischer, who faced his former club on the night — clinging to 10th place heading into the final day. Union Berlin climb to 12th and go into the season finale with fresh momentum.
